Impact Story

New Deputy Director (Awards) to join the Trust


The Cambridge Trust is looking forward to welcoming new Deputy Director (Awards) Rachel Coupe who will be joining the Trust team on 18 November.

Rachel has a deep understanding of the University of Cambridge having spent 17 years working in a variety of professional services roles including Interim Academic Secretary and, for the last four years, Head of Academic and Financial Planning & Analysis.

Before starting her career in the University, Rachel spent 6 years as an international student in New York where she earned her doctorate. She is looking forward to leading the Trust's student awards programme to provide support to students to come to the University of Cambridge.

I am delighted that Rachel will be joining us; her understanding of the University of Cambridge will be an asset to the Trust as she leads on our awards programme. I look forward to welcoming her.
